Will You Adopt Freckles?

This friendly cat needs a caring home to go to.

Red-Headed Freckles is a Sweet Young Boy right out of Mayberry RFD

I may look like a fiery red-head, but believe me, I am as mellow as can be. I was abandoned by my owners when they moved, but being so sweet, I found my way to some nice neighbors, who noticed I looked lost and forlorn, and rescued me. Now I am at PAWS’ adoption center at the Danvers PetSmart. Life here is ok, but, well, a sweet guy like me needs company. This place sure gets lonely at night when everyone leaves and the lights go off. Can you come adopt me? I promise I will slide easily into your life.

As I said, I am the sweetest, mellowest orange tabby you will ever meet. I love to curl up for naps—any cozy place will do. If you want to hear my purr, all you have to do is pet me. I’ll purr even louder if you brush my hair. By the way, I conveniently come with my own, personal grooming brush.

I get along well with other cats, so I know I could fit into any kind of family with or without pets. I am not picky. All I want is your love and companionship. I will take whoever and whatever comes along with that.

Oh, did I mention I have freckles? If you look at my picture you can see them on my nose. I think they are kind of cute on me don’t you? Why not pop over to Pet Smart for a visit to see me in person? It would be fun to have a visitor and then we can get to know one another. Oh, and by the way, I will love you even if you don’t have freckles. I have enough for both of us!
